Yeah, I'm not a PS guy or Xbox guy, but I automatically bought the Xbox wheel because I do use an xbox controller to play certain games on the PC. However had I known that they were both compatible with my PC before I purchased, I would have got the PS version as the extra buttons would have been very handy indeed. After all, you assign the buttons in the game anyway so the more buttons you have at hand, the more you can do direct from the wheel. I just didn't realise that before purchasing, but as you have an xbox anyway, you certainly made the right choice for you :)

Yeah, by all means 3D print a mod, but believe you me, as simple as that o-ring trick looks, it works PERFECTLY. You want the 6 slot box? Let the o-rings loose so they just sit at the base of the shifter. Want the other? Hook em back on. Less than 3 seconds to change between both modes :)

Just incase anyone else here plays DiRT Rally 2.0, I'm pleased to be able to announce that I have just achieved 'Elite' status :)

Prob means nothing to you, but it does mean quite a lot to me, so I'm well chuffed !

Nascar Heat 4 was $12.90 on Steam yesterday. Looks and runs pretty good.

I raced trucks for a bit on iRacing tonight. Trucks are kinda wild, the rear end will step out pretty easy when you're on the throttle coming out of a turn, the setup is quite a bit different from a car.

So he made a chair with a wheel? And he says it's "cheap"? Ha...













^ The price of materials is ZERO.

I have everything now except the Sim Labs cockpit and have no idea how long it will take to get here.
I'm tempted to make a makeshift homemade wooden cockpit as being an ex carpenter from years ago, I do have all the tools and materials to make one :)
It just won't be as adjustable or as nice looking and be much heavier.

Cool. Nascar isn't a big thing in the UK, so Id have to admit that I had not heard of that game :) Likewise Im holding off on iRacing until I have better kit. How do you find the pedals? I seem to find that the brake is too close to the gas. In a real car, it's not an issue, but on this, everytime I come off the gas and go for the break, I'm still catching the gas. Admitly, I don't have that problem with no shoes on, but then I never need to drive a real car without shoes either !

Good stuff. Personally Id just set it up at a desk, to check it all works etc, and then wait for the cockpit. Even if you have the skills and ability to make one, you'll still have to take it all aparat in the future, so Id just wait - But thats me !

If you make one, poost pics :)

Someone else from couldnt wait for theirs to arrive either lol

I find the pedals to be too close together, but I will solve that when I get the rig built. I'll mount them upside down and space them to my liking. I'm still having fun with it at my desk though.

Already have the wood here to start building, just need to clean off my work table so I can fire up my table saw for the first few cuts.

Good Stuff :thumbsup

Document your build as well. Look forward to seeing the pics :)

Fiddy Sim Rigs with lots of poo smeared all over them :)
